THE RAINBOW - YASUNARI KAWABATA KARTONIERT (TB)

'In this masterpiece Kawabata  his brush dipped in silver  renders all the excruciating anguish
and beauty of post-war Japan' Edmund White With the Second World War only a few years in the
past  and Japan still reeling from its effects  two sisters - born to the same father but
different mothers - struggle to make sense of the new world in which they are coming of age.
Asako  the younger  has become obsessed with locating a third sibling  while also experiencing
love for the first time. While Momoko  their father's first child - haunted by the loss of her
kamikaze boyfriend and their final  disturbing days together - seeks comfort in a series of
unhealthy romances. And both sisters find themselves unable to outrun the legacies of their
late mothers. A thoughtful  probing novel about the enduring traumas of war  the unbreakable
bonds of family and the inescapability of the past  The Rainbow is a searing  melancholy work
from one of Japan's greatest writers. Translated by Haydn Trowell
